A two-for-one deal, almost as good as Black Friday or whatever they call the internet Monday sales! Okay, maybe not quite, but here it is.
YES, I DID finish my PhD (Project half Done) quilt in time!!! I’m almost caught up on my sleep, and everything else in my life is very behind, but I have a large quilt very done.
And I love it. I started it in 2003, in 2004 it went on a shelf and has been aging to perfection until this year when several of us decided to get out an old UFO and finished it! What a good feeling. And check out the socks!
Here are twelve of us (there were 13 counting a late arrival):
And on the Photo Friday front, yesterday I was watching a blue jay taunting me, flitting from tree to tree, always too far away or behind a branch, or “look, I’m up close in a tree and you don’t have your camera”, and then he was gone! There was also an osprey circling the pond, mostly white bird against snow-covered white roofs across the way — no photo. I was feeling a little discouraged. Two birds we rarely see so close, and no photos. Then I saw something dart past into a tree by the side of the house:
A downy woodpecker! You can see we just have a little snow that stuck onto the grass yesterday. We are cold enough to keep snow now (boooo), with a current temperature of 14 degrees.
By the way, I’ll be adding individual photos of the PhD finishers with their quilts when I add a new tab to the top of this page called PhD (aren’t I original?).
Thanks for stopping by!
